Meet Indiana's Libertarian Candidate for 9th District U.S. Congress in 2006 and 2008. Dr. Eric Schansberg has been a professor of Economics at Indiana University Southeast in New Albany for 15 years and has written two books on public policy. Dr. Schansberg is an evangelical Christian who has taught Bible studies since 1990. Eric has been married to Tonia since 1995 and is father to four boys— two by adoption and two the more conventional way.

ConclusionBaron Hill has unleashed a monster set upon destroying the innocence of our children. Because of Hill's actions Planned Parenthood can continue to maneuver in their attempt to remove and destroy faith, morality, Hoosier family values, marriage, and innocence. Ironically, these are the very same values Hill swore to Hoosiers he would uphold. In his campaign TV ads and literature Hill promised he was a man of small town values, ready to defend mom and pop; when in reality he is the very opposite. Please let Baron Hill know that we will not stand for him selling our values down the river and that it won't be tolerated.Wamsley's passionate conclusion is matched only by the strange omission of blame for the Republicans who voted for the same funding when they controlled the House from 1994-2006. Likewise, Mike Sodrel voted for Planned Parenthood funding in both 2005 and 2006. The good news: since Wamsley is so offended by this policy, it looks like I can look forward to his support in 2008.

About Me

First and foremost, I am saved by God's grace as manifested most clearly through the atoning death of Jesus Christ-- and thus, adopted into His family. As a result, I increasingly seek to extend His grace to others in my daily life. On the home front, I am a husband and father to four young men (two by adoption and two the more conventional way). Professionally, I am an economist who loves to teach and is active in public policy circles. Vocationally, I am an active writer and the author of three books (one on the book of Joshua; two on public policy-- one secular, one Christian). Finally, I am the co-author of a 21-month discipleship curriculum, Thoroughly Equipped (and a lighter 36-week version), for developing competent lay-leaders in the Church. Related to that work, Kurt and I have two books, Enough Horses in the Barn and Roll Up Your Sleeves.
